Adjustable Subforum Layouts

Subforum layout is a snap with UltraBB! You have 16 combinations to choose from with the controls shown in the first illustration. You can assign a different icon set to the subs than is used for the main forums also.

Admins Can Change Passwords

Probably one of the most requested features since we have been helping with software. No more re registering or countless searches through your bloated E-mail spam folder, simply ask the admin "Can you change my password to XXXXXX please?"

Spam Protection

Captcha Style Spam Protection

We spent a year researching the different types of automated spamming routines and came up with a regular looking Captcha system that uses an unusual type of font that modern OCR routines simply do not see. Since implimenting it there have been
no confirmed automated sign ups on any UltraBB install. Remember please that there is a recent trend of human based spam and if registration is open on your board you can not stop humans!

Group Color Selecter

Every group, existing or created by admins can be given it's own color. You can select a color from the popup or enter the hex code for your favorite color in the box.
